Protect your wireless network

The wireless network has become the best option in the growing problem of interlocking wire note that the cost of the establishment of a wireless network does not exceed the SR 500 and all what we need (wireless router) and every computer that we want to add to this network should contain (a wireless network card). Wireless development has brought with it new risks, where the network is vulnerable to several things like that someone else is using your net connection or the network is penetrated and tampering Baeidadatha and perhaps access to the files on your computer. These risks we had to do to protect the network and to prevent terrorists from access to information about us and that is being circulated wirelessly.

Requirements of the Wireless Network

Wireless network card

Today you can buy a wireless USB card so that you install it yourself easily.


Steps to protect your wireless network

Note: The following steps will give you an idea of ​​the task on the methods of protection that you must apply to protect the wireless network note that each router a different way to adjust its settings, but the terminology that we will talk about a joint venture between routers.

1. Clear access to the wireless network.

This step is the most important measure taken to protect the wireless network. Means of encryption are used today (WPA2) and (WPA-PSK) and (WEP). Without deeper into the techniques of encryption (WPA2) is the last cry in the world of encryption, and preferred to buy very Router supports this technique. By this encryption you can use the word secret complex consisting of 64 box (large and small letters, numbers, references) and I would advise everyone to exploit all the available fields when you set the password. But how to remember the pin number composed of 64 check? There is no need to write the PIN number each time you want to enter the wireless network it will still be saved in the network settings, but preferred to write the PIN, Text file and keep it on the memory card usb external. Routers use the older type of encryption technology (WPA) encryption note that the previous (WPA2) better. For encryption (WEP) does not think never use it because it was considered a weak encryption and can penetrate the network during the 4 hours (maybe a couple of minutes) using special programs.

2. Use the MAC Filtering

Each network card is a special code called Pal Mac Address distinguishes it from other network interface. I picked up a picture of your network card so you can see the Mac Address. In the router settings you can set these options so as not to enter the wireless network, but according to a specific list of Mac Address. If you have at home, 3 computers, add the Mac Address for this device thus making it impossible to add another layer of protection in addition to the number of former secret. If the network card inside the computer and want to know what is the Mac Address tags Click on Start, then type cmd and then press Enter. In the black screen, type the command ipconfig / all (Pay attention to the vacuum), and then press Enter. The Physical Address is the same as the Mac Address (See picture below). Move it and add it to the list specified in the router (see example below).


3. Hide the network - to cancel the broadcast SSID

The SSID is an abbreviation of the word service set identifier is the name of your network wireless and see all of the resides within the range or scope of the broadcast. Went out to the balcony with the laptop were taken the following networks that appear in the image. There are 3 networks (non-protected) in addition to the networks. In case the SSID is enabled when the three networks, they will not show me within the networks that has been captured. But I know that you are to cancel the activation of only the SSID and broadcast Hide This means it does not mean cancellation of the broadcast, which still is present and there are ways to show the network even in case of concealment, but this a good way to hide your network from neighbors and curious.


4. Change the default network name - the SSID

Change the default name for the network. The default name is usually the type of router guide. In the following picture you see that is not changing the name of the default network is clear that there are routers from the company SIEMENS and next to each one its own model number. This thing easily in the search for ways to penetrate the network when you know what is a router guide. Try to choose the name of the mysterious of the network.


5. Change the data access to the router

Change the user name + password used in the router. Usually be the default admin user name and password are admin. I know that if access to the router by another person then he can change all settings Balraur and give himself full powers to enter the network.

Information Security Policies

Information security policies, whether corporate policies, business unit policies, or regional entity policies provide the requirements for the protection of information assets. An information security policy is often based on the guidance provided by a frame work standard, such as ISO 17799/27001 or the National Institutes of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800 series standards. The Standards are effective in providing requirements for the "what" of protection, the measures to be used, the "who " and "when" requirements tend to be organization-specific and are assembled and agreed based on the stakeholders' needs. Governance, the rules for governing an enterprise are addressed by security-relevant roles and responsibilities defined within the policy. Decision making is a key governance activity performed by individuals acting in roles based on delegated authority for making the decision and oversight to verify the decisi...
